Catching Our Breath


Well it’s been several weeks since I last posted.  I can’t believe it’s September already.  We will be in Jamaica before we know it.  All is well here. Today I sent mailed $25 and a note to the superior courts of Charlotte asking for a background clearance.  This is my first step in gathering what I need to obtain my work permit for Jamaica.  I hear it is a long process so I am excited to be starting early.

The kids and I are finally starting to get used to our new schedule this semester.  I started in a PhD program two weeks ago and my new FT NTN position at Winthrop a week ago.  The kids started back to “school” a week ago as well.  It has certainly been an adjustment but I think we are doing well. Fortunately we are flexible and just roll with the punches (the kids a bit better than I do) so I’m confident in our adjustment just like I’m confident in our ability to thrive in Jamaica for several months.

Life is crazy, busy and exhausting but so enjoyable right now.  We are still just as excited to go to Jamaica as ever (although a bit more nervous as time draws nearer).  More later!
